I am knitting something real!
Feather-and-fan lace. Can you believe it?
Beth had the genius idea that I should try lace, because it wouldn't be boring. And she was totally right—I am really enjoying it. It has knit yarnovers and knit-2-together, as well as knit and purl.
It's a present for Greg (I believe that every man should have a jabot of yellow cotton lace for special occasions).

The cutest text message ever
From my five-year-old niece, Sabrina, who lives in Montreal.
What a little sweetheart.

The first really warm day
The sculpture garden was packed.
I wore open shoes!
I cannot wait to ditch the boots for good.

Working from home
Not only do I get a zillion times more work done, but:
I can have an egg sandwich whenever I want!
I know I'm going to look at this picture when I'm at the office next week and want one SO BAD.

These
Perhaps the best mittens ever made?
Squirrel, acorns, oak leaf, and—my initials!!!
Custom made by my friend Beth, who is getting the hexagons blanket (if I ever finish it).

On the way to work
I learned how to crochet backward!!
That is—left to right.
This will be super handy for a project I have in mind.

Yes
I am going to the New York International Children's Film Festival.
And, uh, no . . . I do not have a child.

A piece of advice
If you want to crochet on the subway.
It is best if you do not leave your yarn on the platform.

Office improvement project
In progress.
I should probably start another office improvement project: called "clean your desk."

Lunch!
It looks a bit weird.
And . . . it was a bit weird.
Hake with dill cream sauce (made by the Greg), a quarter of a yellow pepper (organic because regular peppers have too much pesticides; this is my rule), asparagus, and a wack of plain mashed black beans.
Nutrition—get it in you!

He's been putting up with a lot lately. Um . . . from me. And also he fixed my bike.
Thanks Greg!

Walking home in the dark
I met . . . a friendly cat!
I sat down on the stoop and it totally curled up on my lap and purred!!
LOVE.
I didn't even mind that it was digging its claws into my leg.

My Latin teacher
I just think he is really, really great.
He has been teaching for fifty years. He wears the same clothes everyday, he gets his hair cut seasonally (head and face), he does not have email, and he has a rotary phone in his office at Sarah Lawrence. And he once referred to a word processor as a "computer machine." And he told us a story about how he went into Radio Shack here in New York the other day and asked for a transistor radio—and the girl working there had no idea what he was talking about.
But he has a true understanding of the classical world—it makes you despair to think of everything he knows that you will never know.
